Goodhart, November 20. Dr.
Eveline Burns concluded the last
of the Anna Howard Shaw lec-
tures on Social Security in an
Expanding Economy with the top-
ic of Planning for Human Wel-
fare: The Broader Issues.
Mrs. Burns began by discuss-
ing some of the important ques-
tions that have arisen in the field
of social security. Within the
next twenty years there will be
a general expansion in income
maintenance and employment
services. Under the next expan-
sion ex-service men fiTO women
will have the advantage of intelli-
gent guidance and training in
seeking new employment. Also
the field of housing will see a
considerable development for low-
er income groups. In addition,
the social worker will come to the
fore to fill an even greater need
because of increasing complexi-
ties requiring technical aide and
adjustment.
"Nations are coming to see
that widespread poverty and ec-
onomic ills are unnecessary in
the present society," Mrs. Burns

For Louvain Library
Next week a drive to help re-
store the library of Louvain Uni-
versity in Belgium which has been
destroyed twice by German inva-
sion, is to begin on campus. The
Louvain library was started in
1627, and by 1914 contained 300,000
books, more than 950 manuscripts
and 350 incunabula, all of which
were arbitrarily destroyed by the
Germans in 1914.
In 1918 an American committee
was organized under the chairman-
ship of Nicholas Murray Butler,
president of Columbia University,
and started the drive in which
hundreds of American universities,
colleges, and schools contributed
to the restoration of the building
and its library.
In- May 1940 the Germans again
invaded Belgium, and again Lou-
vain suffered. The interior of the
library was gutted by an incendi-
ary bomb, and of its 900,000 vol-
umes, all but 15,000 were destroy-
ed. Only 15 remain of the 8,000
manuscripts. Fire completely de-
stroyed a collection of 3,000 scien-
tific periodicals, 225OOO photo-
graphic reproduction of all the
Coptic manuscripts, and a group
of more than 22 ancient engrav-
ings. The cost of rebuilding the
library is estimated at 8.5 million
Belgian francs. Unfortunately the
15,000 volumes which were saved
and stored in another library were
later destroyed by allied attacks on
industrial plants and railroad in-
stallations in Louvain.
The authorities of the Belgian
Government and Louvain Univer-
sity plan to provide for the recon-
struction of the building, but in

third International Students' Day
assembly? *the Undergraduate As-
sociation presented Miss Yelana
Albana, a Yugoslav student now
a senior at Barnard, and Miss
Christina Swiniarska, a native
Pole working for the Polish In-
formation Service Center. Their
subjects were the roles which the
Yugoslav and Polish students are
playing in this war.
"They have fulfilled their task",
Miss Albana declared in describ-
ing the magnificent sacrifices and
accomplishments made by the
Yugoslav university students since
the invasion of their country. The
students themselves, forming one
seventh of Marshal Tito's Na-
tional Army of Liberation, caus-
ed incalcuable damage to the
Nazi invaders through guerilla
tactics and sabotage.
Proof of the effectiveness of
their work was afforded by the
repeated Nazi-held mass execu-
tion of students, she said. After
the five Yugoslav universities
were closed in April 1941 when
the country was invaded, the stu-
dents went underground and
jjaned the partisan army. The
twelve years of education in free
government-controlled schools
and the years spent at the uni-
versities', in which their political
interests always paralleled their
academic work, made them valu-
able soldiers. The women stu-
dents, about one third as numer-
ous as the men, cook for the
army, make small arms, bear
pamphlets and posters and act
as messengers, taking an active
part in the underground.
Polish students, too, have taken
part in the defense of their coun-
try, suffering severe hardships,
Miss Swiniarska emphasized.
They aided in the heroic defense
of Warsaw, the peasants joining
the army and the women becom-
ing nurses. Many Polish stu-
dents joined the Underground,
and are now engaged in secret
service, using their knowledge of

Born in Petrograd, Russia, Mrs.
Dean came to the United States in
1919. She received her A.B. at
Radcliffe in 1925 and her A. M. and
Ph. D. at Yale University. In
1940 she obtained an LL. D. from
WMson College and from the Uni-
versity of Rochester.
Mrs. Dean became an American
citizen in 1928. She is a member
of the Research Association, and
also of the Foreign Policy Associ-

tions from 1931-38, Mrs. Dean is
now research director as well as\
editor.
A trustee of Vassar and of Rad-

Campus War Chest

Nearly all final reports on the

the campus have been announced
by the chairman of the Drive,
Mrs. Chadwick-Collins. On No-
vember 20, the total amount
pledged by the entire college
community was $3018.35 as com-
pared with last year's pledge of
$4066.29. 92% of the campus has
contributed, far short of the hop-
ed-for goal of 100% at this late
date. $1842.25 is the sum that
has actually been collected so
far.

Sudden Turmoil Sweeps Surprised Campus
As Power House Trouble Creates Black-out
Just as mjd-semester crammers
began to settle down to business
on Tuesday night, the lamps grew
suddenly dim, then slowly faded
away, leaving a state of Stygian
blackness. Stunned by this unfore-
seen crisis, most inhabitants of the
Bryn Mawr campus spent twenty
desperate minutes in varying
states of paralysis. Announcing its
return by tantalizing flickers, the
illumination returned as gradually
as it had departed, amid scenes of
frantic rejoicing.
Desperate phone calls to the
power house during the black-out
yielded no enlightening informa-
tion, but finally several girls from
Denbigh went to investigate the
cause of the disturbance in person.
They found a special information
bureau established there, trying
to keep the telephone calre under
control. They also found the chief
engineer, who allayed their fears
by explaining that a bearing had
burned out in the turbine, and that
the two reserve engines would be
brought into action shortly.
Adding to the general confusion,
a machine in the deep recesses of
Goodhart started to pound in a
sinister way, frightening the al-
ready harrassed News staff; while
many of them bravely crept across
the stage searching for the can-
dles from the lanterns kept in the
Goodhart dressing rooms. The
Glee Club blissfully continued to
sing Silent Night throughout. Car-
ols, indeed, appeared to be the typ-
ical campus reaction to emergen-
cies before" Christmas vacation.
Next door, all Rhoads studied in
the corridors where, amazingly,
there still was light. Across cam-
pus, Merionites lit a fire in their
smoking room and chanted Christ-
mas carols, but one poor mortal,
caught in the bath tub, was unable
to open the door and get out. Pem
West was in,vaded by two white-
faced scientists who had fled from
Dalton afraid the world was com-
ing to an end. Victims trapped in
the library also seemed shaken,
both by being marooned and by
the hysterical shrieks that re-
sounded in that haven of silence.
President Announces
Penalties for Abuses
Of Library Privileges
�-|-----
Miss McBride has announced
this week, as the result of a seri-
ous lateness of books due at the
Reserve Book Room at nine o'clock'
in the mortling, a fine of 50 cents^
for a Reserve Room book which is
not returned on time in the morn-
ing, as well as a fine of $5.00 and
suspension of Library privileges
for a book which is taken from any
part of the Library unsigned.
These fines will go into effect on
Monday, November 27.
Due to the report by Miss Reed,
Librarian, of excessive lateness of
"books, a record was kept of the
number of books late in the two
week period between October 26
afid November 8. For the 11 days
recorded the average number of
stadents returning books late was
24 (a day. These students each had
one or two books out after 9:30 in
the morning.
The total number of students in-
volved was high, 114. The difficul-
ty, Miss McBride points out, is not
therefore localized in any small
group. More than half of these
students, 61, returned a book late
once in the eleven days recorded.

Mr. Sprague Speaks
To Shakespeare Club
Deanery, November 14. In a
speech before the Shakespeare
Club of West Philadelphia, Mr.
Sprague, Associate Professor of
English, pointed out the advan-
tages to readers of the compre-
hensiveness of Shakespeare's
texts.
Attributing the great readabil-
ity, of Shakespeare to the fact
that "there is so much caught up
in the lines�time, place, faces
of characters, particular actions
and gestures", Mr. Sprague
touched on the blended qualities
of Shakespeare as poet and dram-
atist.
No one is better qualified to
give such a discussion than Mr.
Sprague, who is author of the re-
cent Shakespeare and the Actors,

Susan Oulahan '46, Secretary.
Mary Barton '46, First Jun-
ior Member.
In the recent poll conducted by
the Vocational Committee to de-
termine the type and extent of
jobs held by undergraduates last
summer, it was revealed that 254
out of 462 polled held some job, a
marked decrease from last year's
unrivaled total of J343 out of 391.
87 Freshmen and 82 Sophomores
worked last summer, while only
52 Jiimprs and 33 Seniors held
jobs, 20 students worked in labs,
6 in factories, 19 went farming,
and 62 took care of children, in-
cluding those who were counselors
at camps. 169 girls held various
volunteer jobs; 14 took Red Cross
courses; 24 studied typing or
shorthand. The unprecedented
number of 64 Bryn Mawrtyrs at-
tended summer school.
Most original among the sum-
mer workers were Meredith Mof-
fitt '48, who taught English to
small Venezuelan children at the
American School in Caracas, and
Lindsay Harper '48, who took care
of the teletype machines for the
Blue Network commentators in
Chicago during the Democratic
and Republican conventions.
Particularly energetic were Julie
Turner '45, who spent part of her
summer haying and branding on a
ranch in Montana, and Tony Boel
'47, who volunteerd as a cowboy
for ranching and milking cows.
Cathie Clark '47, ran a restaurant,
bakery, and soda fountain, while
Marilyn Cooper '47, admitted that
she "worked in a bakery but for
only three weeks as she was dis-
missed for getting sick every week.
It was a cake bakery." And Anne
Wood '48, lasted for one week as
a camp cook.
Two Freshmen, Betsy Graf and
Louise Sheldon, studied Spanish at
the University of Mexico, and
Elizabeth Updegraf '45, taught
quantitative analysis at the Uni-
